Edgar and His Destined Wife novel Chapter 187

Chapter 187 That’s Unnecessary

“Ms. Eyer, please make your decision soon. We need to proceed with other segments.” The staff reminded Jean kindly. They could not let the other attendees continue waiting for Jean.

Edgar stood opposite Jean with a stern expression. At the same time, unidentifiable emotions flickered in his deep-set eyes. “If you are scared, get out. But don’t ever expect Eyer Group to amount to anything.”

His words were like daggers, piercing through Jean’s heart. I have said I will raise the Eyer family to its former glory but do I have the ability to do so? Since Edgar is giving me a chance, I should grab it, right?

Jean’s hand trembled slightly as she held the pen. “Jean…” Ben wanted to rush onto the stage, but someone stopped him. “Mr. Ludwig, it is not your place to help in this matter.”

At the same time, more people began to discuss fervently. Jean clenched her nose and heard Edgar. “It is you who is throwing away this chance. Don’t come begging me for it in the future.” “I’ll sign!”

Jean said through gritted teeth and immediately signed her name. Edgar arched his eyebrows and sneered. “Since you have signed, you are not allowed to change your mind.”

Once again, Edgar was in control of this game of revenge. However, Jean was only flustered for a few seconds before regaining her senses. She handed the signed agreement to Edgar and replied, “I won’t change my mind. However, the same can’t be said of certain someone who treated marriage as a game and used it as a bargaining chip for revenge.”

Edgar’s eyes turned fierce. On the other hand, Jean’s eyes became spirited again as she said, “Mr. Royden, I hope you won’t regret it this time.”

Then, she left the stage and walked away resolutely. She headed straight to the washroom and gave a long sigh the moment she locked the door. Her hands were covered with cold sweat. She could not understand what Edgar was up to this time. Why did he give Eyer Group a chance to rebuild itself?

Is it so that he could ruin my life again? Or, is he planning to make other companies hate Eyer Group so that he could easily make it disappear again?

Neither of them is good news. However, if I did not accept the collaboration, it would amount to giving up on an easy profit. Everyone would mock me for being a coward.

It turns out Edgar’s decision can easily force me into a difficult position. Jean turned on the tap and splashed cold water on her face. “There’s nothing to be scared of.” She bit her lower lip. “All I need to do is persevere. Then, things will eventually turn to my advantage.”

It was break time when she returned to the hall. Everyone began to discuss amongst themselves as Jean walked in.

“She dares to sign the agreement. Is Eyer Group even able to carry out the project? I heard she is the only person in the company.”

“Doesn’t that mean she got this lucrative project without having to do anything? Why am I not as lucky?”

“Yet, she took so long to sign the agreement on the stage. Perhaps she was scared sh*tless.”

“Who knows, she might be thinking of using this as a chance to get close to Edgar and rekindle old flames…”

Everyone thought since Jean managed to cling to the powerful Royden Group, Eyer Group would become successful even if Jean knew nothing about business.

Jean listened to them, but her expression remained calm.

“Are you alright?” Ben found Jean and looked at her worriedly.

She shook her head and smiled. “Don’t worry about me. Instead, you should worry about yourself. Will you be okay now that Ludwig Group didn’t get the project?”

Ben frowned and answered, “My father did not expect Royden Group to suddenly change the rules either.”

Everyone in the hall felt the same as Ben. They suspected Edgar did it for a reason.

They even believed Edgar made sure Eyer Group was picked.

Although many were dissatisfied, no one dared to confront Edgar about it. Doing that would amount to a death wish.

Therefore, everyone took out their jealousy and anger on Jean.

Jean knew she would have a difficult time ahead. Furthermore, she would have to bear the blame if something went wrong with the project.

If she was a little careless, she could lose everything.

“He deliberately did this.”

Jean said calmly, “He wishes to see me beg for his forgiveness.”

Ben’s expression fell. He became even more worried about Jean.
